Twitter

This wraps the twitterapi.io API so you can pull user profiles, tweets, followers, communities, spaces, and trends without dealing with Twitter's official API nonsense. You get search with proper query syntax (date ranges, engagement filters, media only), relationship checks between users, thread reconstruction, and batch operations. Costs around $0.15 per thousand requests through twitterapi.io, which is reasonable if you need reliable access. The skill is pretty comprehensive, covering most read operations you'd actually want. Just set your API key in your shell config and you're running Python scripts from the command line. Good for social listening, research, or building tools that need Twitter data without the platform's developer program headaches.
